Weekend of August 19th
This weekend was Mel's last at her Waterloo student house.
Over the course of about 30 hours we packed up all her belongings into my car until they nearly spilled out the windows. We filled the trunk till it had to be leaned-on to close. We filled the back seat till I could barely see out the window. We strapped two bikes to the back. We had plants at her feet and chinchillas on her lap. Then we went to Oakville.
Oh yeah, and we watched V for Vendetta on Saturday. That movie absolutely rocks!
"Voila! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V."
Back in Oakville on Sunday, we emptied the car in about 20 minutes and then headed to Ikea in Burlington before they closed. We bought two more dressers to match the two we already had, as well as two bookshelves. By midnight we had the four pieces built and the living room somewhat cleaned up. The chinchillas were also looking happy in their reassembled cage.
Today will continue to be a big cleanup day...

Isn't V for Vendetta incredible?! I was really reminded of 1984 while watching it (although it's been years since I watched that; def. should rent that again sometime). Really, really neat story. The acting was flawless I think!
